Inspector Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Looks like the Marui USPc isn't next on the list...the Marui M&P V-Tac is....$160 isn't bad and the Sights are really cool. http://www.uncompany.com/pageproductdetails.asp?prodid=36601 Link to post Share on other sites
WTF?Shane Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I haven't been keeping up with TM. Are both sets of dots fiber optic? Link to post Share on other sites
judgeman Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Somebody said that you can put fiber optics in them? I think? I just woke up so I'm not entirely sure whats going on right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Hhmmmm tan/fde/brown colour. Yummy. Shame the USPc isn't out yet in time for the end of the year. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I want the USPc not interested in the tan but I am in those sights.. They should be a much cheaper alternative to the ones available if the TM glock spare sights are anything to go by. Hopefully they're sold separately! Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 the sights appear to be fiber optic stacked on top of tritium. The tritium is probably just luminescent plastic inserts (ive had the glock ones and they performed very poorly in the dark) and the fiber optics are probably just acrylic rods. Its easy enough though to buy real tritium and fiber optic to replace the inserts. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's easy enough to stick tritium in any sights to be quite honest. I have put tritium dots in my stock MP7 sights. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Where are y'all getting the tritium dots please? Would be interested on doing this for some of my other pistols! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 These are the ones I used. The green ones are very effective, but bear in mind that one end is brighter than the other. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gardner-Tackle-NEW-Nano-Bug-ATTS-Tritium-Max-Betalight-Isotope-6mm-x-2mm-/290829606758?pt=UK_BOI_Packing_Postal_Supplies_Labels_LE&var=&hash=item43b6cb9f66 Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Perfect thanks chap. I assume those are ok to be cut to length?? Would I be looking at drilling a small 2.01 hole in the sight to then thread this through? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 No, you cant cut them. They're made of glass and are essentially miniature fluorescent tubes, but with radiation to make the inner coating glow instead of electricity. I used a pin vice and drilled it by hand to 2.5mm, using a mark on the bit to gauge depth. Then I put a tiny dot of Araldite on the dull end of the tritium and pushed it in with a cocktail stick allowing the araldite to surround the rod completely so it is suspended evenly in a tiny layer of resin. As long as you get the hole drilled right, it'll all sit fine. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Ahh I see, was a pretty stupid question when I actually think about it.. Will be hard to install them into pistol sights then if the tubes are 6mm they'll stick out either side unfortunately.. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Yeah, they're not gonna be compatible with all designs of sight unfortunately due to the depth. You can go in at a slight angle, but you really need a good hand and solid 3D spacial awareness. The last thing you want is tritium poking out the sides/front/bottom of your sight because of a misjudged angle. I got the calipers on my XDM and that's ripe for the conversion, so that might be the next of mine to go nuclear. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Haha I'm usually good with the 3d awareness and a steady hand. Studied design at uni. I'll take a look into it and see what I can come up with! Thanks pal! Might just end up with some fibre dots as a compromise! Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Be careful with them though Delta, they are very prone to breaking, and they are not as bright as something like nitesighters. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It's alright I'm not going to go down that route as they wont fit in pistol sights. Thanks for all the help guys! I will find something somewhere! Link to post Share on other sites
